Published on Leave a comment on 18 Liver-Friendly Foods You Can Add To Your Weekly Rotation

By Emilie Richardson-Dupuis

A Little Love for a Very Busy Organ

Your liver does a lot behind the scenes, so it’s only fair to give it meals that don’t make its job harder. In general, liver-friendly eating leans toward fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, fiber-rich foods, and healthy fats rather than sugary drinks, heavily processed foods, and lots of saturated fat. Of course, food isn’t a cure-all, and anyone with liver disease should follow medical advice, but these 20 everyday foods can be a smart place to start. 

Look After Your Liver
Foods That Are Good For It

Leafy Greens

Spinach, kale, collards, and Swiss chard are easy wins when you’re trying to eat in a liver-friendly way. They bring fiber, vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds to the plate without asking for much effort. You can toss them into smoothies, soups, omelets, salads, pasta dishes, or anywhere that could use a little green. 

Oats

Oats are simple, filling, and full of fiber, which makes them a great weekly staple. They’re especially handy at breakfast because they can keep you satisfied without relying on heavy, sugary options. You can dress them up with fruit, nuts, cinnamon, or a spoonful of yogurt. …

Published on Leave a comment on Feijoas: The Cute Little Fruit That Tastes Really Good and Benefits Your Health!

Feijoa that little green fruit that grows on a shrub type tree, they're absolutely gorgeous! Closely related to Guavas, they are often referred to as the Pineapple Guava. These small green fruits are reminiscent of kiwis. They are egg-shaped, and the inner flesh can be scooped out and eaten along with the pulp and seeds. The texture is similar to a pear while the flavor is slightly citrusy and sweet.

Wow, what a Tasty Little Fruit!

Feijoas are best enjoyed when soft and ripe. They grow mostly in South America, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand and grow on a species of the Myrtle tree. The flowers are exceptionally pretty and the fruit is about the size of an egg – some bigger, some smaller, depending on the variety. The flesh has a sweet aromatic, juicy flavor, which tastes like a combination of pineapple, apple and mint. They have a clear gelatinous pulp just like guavas, with a pleasant grainy texture that makes for a taste sensation.

Whether you are eating the fruit for its health benefits or its exotic taste, you will benefit from its impressive nutrient content. There is a high level of vitamin C as well as a diverse selection of B vitamins and trace amounts of vitamin E, K and A.…

By Janet Vargas Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

Hi Folks, I posted an Article about Kiwis in Mid-March, they are So Good for Us. I just found out they are Good for Our Eyes, in addition to their other Benefits. And when you look at this according to Food Signatures (Key Benefits found in certain foods, referred to as the Doctrine of Signatures by the Greeks many years ago when they resemble a specific part of our Body) a Carrot when sliced resembles the Iris in our Eyes AND so does a Kiwi when sliced, hey? So from that perspective, it is not too surprising to hear a Natural Health Scientist mention Kiwi's Benefit for Our Eyes in a YouTube Video recently, never-the-less pleasantly surprising.

Today, I had a wonderful experience when shopping in one of the Aldi Stores - a discovery that there is a Ruby-Red Kiwi Fruit available from a company called Zepri in New Zealand in addition to Sungold Kiwis. They are selling here in Australia and Internationally now.

Guavas are so refreshing and cooling in drinks. You can make a nice Apple and Guava juice at home – what a treat! It's a popular combination: Apple for the sweetness and Guava for the irresistible taste.....or.....simply scoop one with a spoon, fresh from a tree maybe:) They also make delicious fruit spread.

By Mie Moller Bie on MSN

When it comes to healing, the kitchen can be just as powerful as the pharmacy. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and natural compounds, these ten fruits do more than satisfy cravings but also support digestion, boost immunity, and protect long-term health.

1. Guava: Vitamin-C Power Punch

Guava delivers more vitamin C than most citrus says Pharmrep, along with fiber and potassium. Its tiny seeds add crunch while supporting digestion. Try it sliced with lime, blended into smoothies, or stirred into yogurt.

2. Blueberries: Tiny but Mighty

Packed with anthocyanins, blueberries help combat oxidative stress. They pair with breakfast bowls, salads, or a simple handful as a snack. Regular bites support brain and heart health says Sciencedirect.

Published on Leave a comment on Experts Warn Against Combining Certain Natural Supplements – We Need To Practice Discretion

By Mie Hermansen – MSN

You try to take care of yourself. You choose products that sound gentle, plant-based and familiar, trusting that they will support your body rather than stress it.

For many people, supplements feel like a safe shortcut to better sleep, calmer moods or more balance in everyday life.

But wellness choices are rarely as simple as they look. Some habits that seem harmless on the surface can quietly create problems, especially when different products are combined without much thought.

What matters is not just what you take, but how those choices interact once they are inside your system.

When Natural Isn’t Neutral

Health researchers and clinicians point out that supplements are not regulated like prescription drugs.

Their strength can differ from brand to brand, and their interactions are not always obvious to consumers.

When multiple products influence the brain, hormones or liver at the same time, their effects can overlap.

This may lead to excessive tiredness, slower reaction times or mental fog, even in people who otherwise feel healthy.

Because these changes often build gradually, many people never connect them to their supplement routine.

Among commonly used products, the pairing of Melatonin and St.…

Published on Leave a comment on New study: Full-Fat Cheese Linked To A Lower Risk Of Dementia and Truth About Non-Fat Mania

By Ida-Marie Palm Varaek from Welltica

A large study shows an association between the consumption of full-fat cheese and the risk of dementia in certain groups.

For many years, low-fat foods have been promoted as the safer choice for health.

In particular, low-fat dairy products have been recommended to reduce the risk of lifestyle-related diseases.

At the same time, interest is growing in how diet affects the brain and the risk of dementia.

Dietary Guidelines

According to international and Nordic dietary guidelines, the intake of saturated fat should be limited.

These recommendations are based on large population studies aimed at reducing the risk of, among other things, cardiovascular diseases.

Dietary research, however, is often complex. People do not eat individual foods in isolation, and diet is closely linked to education, income, and lifestyle.

A Long-Term Study

A Swedish study, published in the journal Neurology, contributes new data to the debate.

In the study, researchers followed 27,670 adults over 25 years. During this period, 3,208 participants developed dementia.

The researchers accounted for several uncertainties, including by excluding individuals who already had dementia at the start of the study and by analyzing the results without those who became ill early on.…

Kiwis Come To Light For Health Benefits

Kiwi Unpeeled: How Two A Day Could Be The Key To Fresher Skin Health and Better Sleep
By Meike Leonard – Daily Mail

Tart, green and fuzzy, they may not always seem the most appealing snack. 

But experts say the humble Kiwi comes with a whole host of Benefits – for our Mood, Digestion and even Skin. 

Native to China since the 12th century, Kiwi were traditionally used for Medicinal Purposes. 

The fruit was administered for stomach issues as well as to aid digestion, ancient records show. 

In the early 20th century, after horticulturists brought the plant's seeds to New Zealand – where it was renamed for its resemblance to the country's furry, brown national bird – the Kiwi became a popular snack amongst stationed US servicemen.

Today, the fruit is one of New Zealand's defining agricultural products – making more than NZ$1billion in export revenue. …
